Jining Mansion, Changlu Salt Farm.

After reading the letter in his hand, the cloth ruler put the letterhead on the table, looked up at the willow branches outside the window, and looked thoughtful.

The letter came from the Lingshan patrol Yu Feng, and it is difficult to say what kind of feelings the cloth ruler is for this former partner and successor. In the position of Lingshan Inspection, he cooperated with Yu Feng purely out of fear at first, and later, it was because of the interests and Yu Feng that Yu Feng was hot, and in the end, even because of Yu Feng's help, he took such a small step forward and became the salt transportation ambassador of Changlu Salt Farm.

Of course, although there is only one word difference between the salt transport ambassador and the salt transport envoy of the salt administration department, there is a world of difference, which will be placed in future generations, that is, the difference between the leader of the competent department of a province and the director of the production plant of the provincial enterprise. But no matter what, he's still promoted after all, isn't he?

He once thought that if it wasn't for his mistakes, or if Yu Feng's promotion was too fast, the two of them would not have too many entanglements, but he didn't expect that at the beginning of the New Year, Yu Feng would send such a letter.

The letter didn't say much, first to talk to him for a while, and then to thank him for helping him to the position of Shangling Mountain Inspection. This is not the point, the point is to find some after speaking, the letter of the pen turned, saying that a few years ago he Yu Feng surveyed a location in Lingshan, which is very suitable for making a good port, for sea ships to enter and exit, after a few months of civil construction, now it can be used, and asked if the Bu family can have a sea trade business, if any, Yu Feng is willing to provide convenience Yunyun.

Although Jining has developed water transportation, but Cao transportation and sea transportation are two different things, and what will happen to the ship running on the canal when it reaches the sea, people with a little knowledge know it. The business of the cloth family, although relying on Caoyun, has gained a lot of convenience, but now who does not know that sea trade is a big profit, and those who have a little way have their own channels, and the cloth family has coveted this piece for a long time.

It's just that although Shandong is big, the good ports suitable for sea ships to enter and exit can be counted on their fingers, and these good ports have already had a share, and they can't intervene anymore, even if the Bu family wants to do this business, a large part of the profits will be stripped away by these forces that control the port. In this respect, it may not be much better than those maritime merchants who have no foundation, so this matter has dragged on.

Now there is such an opportunity, in front of the cloth ruler, it is like walking on the road, suddenly hit by a pie falling from the sky, how can the cloth ruler not be allowed to think again and again.

Bu Qi is not stupid, if he is stupid, he will not be promoted by the family and put outside as an official. It is precisely because of this that he doesn't believe that there will be any pie in the sky under the sky, it's like walking on the road without provoking anyone, and suddenly someone runs over and has to stuff you with thousands of taels of silver.

There is a private port for sea ships to enter and exit, and whoever changes it will probably make a lot of money in a muffled voice, and the plan will never be publicized. Not to mention going around saying that it is convenient for people, it is tantamount to desperately pushing the silver that flew into his arms to others. So, why did Yu Feng do this?

"Go and ask Master Liu to come over!" The ruler instructed the people outside. A few years ago, he had already accepted Liu Chengbin's little sister to make a partial room, and the relationship between the two became closer, and now that he has encountered such a thing, Liu Chengbin is the best candidate for discussion.

"Zephyr, what do you think?" Waiting for Liu Chengbin to finish reading the new letter, the cloth ruler asked. West wind is Liu Chengbin's cousin, it was very impolite for the reader to call each other directly by his name at the time, and he used to call Liu Chengbin Master Liu, and later married someone else's sister, so it was inappropriate to call it like this, so he simply called it the table.

"Is the messenger still there?" Liu Chengbin raised his head, but asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"It's still there, saying that you want to wait for my reply to bring it back!" Bu Qi asked puzzledly: "You don't have to care about such a trivial matter, Xifeng!" ”

"It's related, it's related!" Liu Chengbin shook his head: "If according to the student's point of view, the urgency of this letter is afraid that nine times out of ten it will fall on the person who sent the letter?" ”

Seeing that the cloth ruler was a little puzzled, Liu Chengbin explained: "If the adults agree to come down, I am afraid that what is said in this letter will be difficult to follow. This Yu Feng has made it convenient for adults, so naturally they will not collect money according to this common practice, this is not a penny or two cents of silver, a sea ship goes to sea for a trip, and the income of tens of thousands of taels is there, how can there be, this day is long, it is a huge amount of silver? ”

"I know that!"

"Have you ever thought about why this Yu Feng gave this great benefit to your lord?" Liu Chengbin asked rhetorically.

This is the stinky problem of the reader, he always likes to pant when he speaks, and the cloth ruler does not answer, sure enough, Liu Chengbin continued to say to himself: "Etiquette to people, there must be something to ask, this letter is just an introduction, the real intention, I am afraid that in the body of the person who sent the letter, if the student did not guess wrong, the person who sent the letter must be Yu Feng's henchman!" ”

"Call in the messenger from the Lingshan Inspection Division!" The cloth ruler shouted outside.

After a while, three people were brought in, but the leader was a young man with an immature face, and the two behind him seemed to be guards.

"Then Yu is waiting for you to deliver this letter, what did you explain?"

Zhao Lai looked at the Lord Bu in front of him, and replied with a hand arched: "I have confessed some words, but the adults have also said it, if Lord Bu doesn't ask, the small ones don't need to be said!" ”

Zhao Lai and the two in front of him actually had a few faces, that was on the birthday of the cloth ruler, but at that time, Zhao Lai was mixed in Yu Feng's entourage, but it was not very noticeable, plus the young man developed quickly, almost a year, this cloth ruler and Liu Chengbin only felt that the young man was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

This time, Zhao Lai took the initiative to send the letter. In the manor, everyone has their own duties, but he has been following Wu Yanran to work in the workshop, and he can't do anything to share his worries for Yu Feng, so with this opportunity, he took it. Yu Feng also deliberately let him experience it, and this journey should not be much risk, so he sent him over after giving him two guards.

"Let me guess, have you met someone who is in trouble recently?" Liu Chengbin touched the three-inch short hair on his chin and asked his head.

"Mr. Dacai, my family has encountered a little trouble recently, but it doesn't matter!" Zhao Lai praised it, and told the two people sitting above about the extortion of Jinyiwei's door, and told them lightly.

"Oh, I know, you go to rest first, and I'll have my own letter to bring to your lord later!"

After sending the messenger away, Liu Chengbin glanced at the cloth ruler, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident: "I'm not wrong, is there something to ask us for?" ”

"Jinyiwei!" The cloth ruler's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table, and now he was also in trouble, Yu Feng's meaning was obvious, he gave him or given the cloth family such a big benefit, it was nothing more than asking them to solve this trouble, but, with his energy, he really didn't have the confidence to do it against a Jinyiwei's test hundred households, and more importantly, he didn't know if this was the Jinyiwei's own meaning, or the meaning of this Shandong Jinyiwei Thousand Households, if it was for some interests, offend the entire Shandong Jinyiwei, Putting the family on the opposite side of Jinyiwei would not be cost-effective.

"Why should the adults be embarrassed, report this matter directly to the old lady to know, how to do it is up to the old lady to decide, no, the adult will also leave a good impression of diligence and concern for the clan in front of the lord, it has become, not to mention the adult's matchmaking!" Liu Chengbin seems to be a roundworm in the stomach of the cloth ruler, and he solved the trouble of the cloth ruler at once.
